Ehh, it’s easy to miss a black presence in LA. California in general, the majority of the black population isn’t doing well, so unless you’re in a lower socioeconomic class, it’s quite easy to not see or be in black spaces. And then a good half or more of educated/upwardly mobile blacks tend to associate with “others” and date out. DMV (and east coast blacks in general) have a much stronger, bigger middle class and even upper middle class. You can associate with a deep black community at all socioeconomic levels out here. Cali is missing that.
Like I’ve always said ..if you’re a black person and talk down on Detroit you’re on some white ppl/c00n shyt
nikkas think they live in Black cities but like this shyt shows yall…you really don’t
percentage matters.
Take notice of cities with declining black population, means there is no opportunity in those cities. Los Angels used to be well over 400k and now the Asians out number us over there
Haven;t spent time in LA but I will say that DC's Black areas had a Wakanda like atmosphere, You go in the Hoods in DC and 10 or 15 years you'd see No Non Black People maybe you'd see the odd white cop but if you stayed in the hoods It was being in Nairobi. 20 years ago you wouldn't see white people that weren't cops after 6pm in weekends downtown. DC's segregation was on a another level.
Las Vegas and Oklahoma City are blacker than Miami now.
DC was once the "murder capital" Brooklyn was decribed on an episode of Will & Grace as "murderville" With that thinking gentrification shouldn't exist.Because it has one of the highest murder rates and black urban blight in the nation.
Why would you think any logical black person would talk “Up” about that?
Idk any city with a high murder rate or urban blight that black folks talk highly about
This is true. Charlotte, DC, Atlanta, have black visibility on every socioeconomic level. Miami is more like California in regards to having black people only in the lower socioeconomic classes. The rest of Florida is a tiny bit more balanced and like the rest of the south in regard to having a black middle class. But even California cities seem to be overtaking Miami in terms of black percentage. Which is honestly shocking to me.
I knew about interior cities like Vegas and OKC growing, but I never expected them to pass Miami because of Miami’s constant influx of black immigrants. Seeing Miami’s black percentage drop to 12.9% is shocking.
I swear if I wasn't Passport Gang, I would reside in Maryland and just experience of unapologetic blackness 
this is where you gotta look at the metro area. Some cities are losing black people but they’re moving to suburbs right outside the city or other cities in the county - I’d assume this is the case with Miami, definitely the case with DC and Chicago - but some cities are losing black people entirely, they’re not even staying in the area - the Bay Area.
